Beruix, March 6, 1867, The Imperial Diet of the North German Confedera- tion, vulgarly called the German Parliament, was opened on February 24 with all the pomp and solemnity be- fitting the occasion, and which the present King of Prussia is so fond of displaying. Soon after eleven in the morning the members {began to'collect to attend Divine service, the Protestants at the royal chapel, the Catholics at the churen of st. Edvige, the King and his family driving up in their State equipages, followed by the grand functionaries of the kingdom, the corps diplomatique, and the honoratle Deputies, Of the lattor most were in hired carriages or cabs, some on fot, and Several, among whom of course Baron Rothschild, the Tepresentative of the city of Frankfort, only made their appearance after the religious ceremony was terminated, when the Baron astonished all beholders by his magnificent turnout—a gorgeously gilt and elaborately decorated vehicle in the style of the Renaissance, drawn by four light bay liorses of peculiar Ddoauty, and altogethor echpsing the royal trains. The open squares on both sides of the Schloss were crowded with spectators; in the Linden and the adjoining streets fing, black, white and red (the federal colors), were hung ont—in conformity with a hint given by the po- lice—and it being sunday the city naturally worea festive Appearance, although the public in “general seemed to regard the whole affair more in the light of a show than of a political event in which they took any particular interest. As the King left his private palace the royal banner was lowered from thé flagstaff and hoisted on that of the Castle as he approached the grand portal, The sermon preached by his Majeety’s chaplain in ordinary, Dr. Hoff. man, was in Romans xv., 5 and 6, ‘Now the God of Patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded, ‘one toward another according to Christ Jesue; that ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Chrst.” (By the way, the official programme gays that the King woutd deign to attend divine service, which shows that the anecdote related in former letters was not exaggerated) After its conclusion the deputies proceeded to the White Hall where they were conducted to their appointed siations by the masters of ‘the ceremonies, The diplomatic corps took their eats on tribunes assigned to them, ana were then removed for the Queen, the Princeases of the Royal House and the Princes of Baden, Oldenburg and Nassau; whercupon his Majesty was notified that everything was in readiness to receive him. It was about one o'clock when the King ‘deigned to repair his ail-highest soif’’ (Prusso-Byzantine sty!e) to the White Hail, prec‘ded by the Chamvberiains, the Grand Master of’ the Ceremonies, Grand Marshal, Grand Capbearer and Grand Carver, and the insignin of the kingdom—viz., the sword, borne by General Kun- nowsky; the globe, by General Penckers; the sceptre, by Count Waldetcco: the crown, by Count Reem; ‘and e standard, by Marshal Wrangel, assisicd by Generals Hiedusin and Alvorsleden, Hus Majesty was followed by the princes of the blood, the aides.de-camp general, the Minister of the Royal Court and suite. Saluted by the acclamations of the Assembly, he ‘which was occupied by his son, the ‘lower ones by his brothers and nephews, while at the foot st the officers with the inmgnia, and Count Bismarck with the government commissioners to the Parliament. The effect of ‘the whole was quite imposing, and the number of showy uniforms added briiliamcy to the scone, very few persons appearing in simple black, and those'being cunningly hid away by the inasters of tne ceremonies so as not to cause a break in the uninter- rupted line of goid lace and epauiets. It is needless to mention that the King and Princes wore regimenials, as no scion of the Prussian royal family ever appears in plan clothes, ex@pt when traveiling abroad. In spite of his recent indisposition tho King looked remarkably well; and, with his tail, commanding figure and stream- ing gray bair, you might almost have imagined that Frederick Barbarossa had emerged from th: hauser, to the popular legend, been sleeping for the last seven hundred years, und had come pen the Parliament, which is to lay the foundations of a united Germany . ‘The first sitting of the Parliament took on the folowing Monday at the premisés hitherto occupied the Prussian House of Lords, which had been the in- very short the carpenters and painters had only just got done, and the atmosphere was im odor of fresh varnish. On the wi 210 to 220 deputies present, of whom Count Frankon- berg, member of the House of Lords, being the senior hty-two years of age), assumed the functions of President pro tem. and the four youngest deputies those of Secretaries. Count Bismarck was among the first ar- rivals, and took bis seat at the extreme right, Prince Freder.ck Charles, who appeared in the dashing wntform of a Colonel of Hussars, at the rigut centre, with Gon- erais Moltke, Faikenstein, steinmetz, the Duke of Ujest and Ratibon, M. Wagner and the Hanoverian conserva- tives. The Poles bad selected the benches on the ex." treme left, where we alvo noticed the leading Prussian and Saxon radica's, Messrs, Duncker, Becker, Wiggins, Sohatforth and others (Waldeck only came next dav.) The grouping of parties, however, is still incomplete, and there will be several clianges of seats before every one has found his proper place, until when tt is diffleait to form an estimate of their respective numerical strengib. On this occasion the right certainly prepon- dorated, but this may be owing to the fact that the Prussian membors, the majority of whom belong to the conservative, moderately hberal party, are all in Berlin, whi of those from the other States aro still missing. Previous to the commencement of proceedings Count Bismarck, who scemed faticued, bat ‘was as lively and jocutar as ever, exchanged his seat for one on (he benchés assigned to tie government commis+ sioners, ig front of the chair, alovg with Count Itzen- phitz, Cont Enbabarg, General Koon, M. de Sevigny, the Saxon Vinister, Baron Friesen, and the pleaipoten- tiartes of some of the smailer Statos, the entire number of whom, when complete, will be no less than forty. The first sitting was « <clusivety devoted to matters of form, and did not last above two hours, possibly because the members had been invited to dinner by tho King, and were in a burry to go home to dress, Bismarck read the royal order appointing him and his tolleagues the official representatives of the Prussian Yovernment, and a motion was introduced to adopt the tules and regulations of the Second Prussian Chamber, which was passed almost upanimousiy. Yesterday the House met again, though only for a few minutes, to tonfirm tue appointment of committees to examine the sections, &c The nomination of President, Vice Prast- dent and other oificers will hardly come off before pext week, when the various parties will have the first oppor- tunity of measuring their sirength. What importance government attaches to the action of this Assembiy—as to this, it must be confessed, the public in general do not form any sanguine expecta- tions—ia evident from their having ordered prayers to be offered up in all the places of worship throughout the monarchy for the success of its deliberations. The form of the prayer ig as follows: —“Extend, 0 eternal God, thy mercy over the councils which are being held at this {ime for the construction of a firm union of our German Fatuerland, Zanetify this work, and let it tend to the Bosco, and ess of our German people and their » praise ot Thy holy name ise Thou k of our German Fathor- authorities may join, with our King ja striving to erect earth and tw glorify Thy name,” gies aud \\erations of this document we may on royal style; for it was penned yo = @ band than that of King William 1. him- soit. ‘ First Political Act of the Free Legisianture— Count Bismarck: Ya Speech op the Federal it the Elections— servatives and Position of the Crewn Prince—Conven- tion with the Duke of Nassau.

Simson to the Presidency, is an evont of considerable Importance, and bodes ill for the uncon! ditional acceptance of the federal constitution drawn up by Count Bismarck and his diplomatic colleagues. In the firat place, it shows that the new Parliament is in- clined to revive the traditions of the National Assembly of 1848, of which Simson was President, and as the representative of which he appeared in Borlin at the head of the deputation to Frederick Wiliam IV., the imperial crown of Germany in one band and a demo- cratic charter in the other, In the next, it proves that the conservative majority retarned in old Prussia has fooon more than neutralized by the liberal depatios @lected in gue annexed provinces and the minor States— the throne, the middle step of 4- « * NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, MARCH 31, 1867.-TRIPLE SHERT. tosuch a degree; indeed, that the federalists have not been is that the good are all stark wad, and | % Drory Lane, with Phelps as Faust end Mra Vezin as able to secure a single ene.of the throe chief offices fear the Bi will be a mistake ex; Marguerite, Miss Lydia Thompson winds up the enter- tainment in a trifie, translated from the French, called ‘collapsed substar " batance Assembly.

In this State, on (sade white Nation, it has beon demonstrated, long since, that exists no hostility towards those who lately etood in the relati of servant to master, The Legislature of this State was among the first, and voluntarily, to grant to them the right to testify in all cases, whether their rights of person and property were involved or not, With the conclusion of the war its results were fully accepted. The constitutional amendment abolishing slavery was. |. and since then there has no other desire but that the change should be without shock, and that the new order of things might not lead to anarchy and mis- rule, There never has been stightest disposition to deny to the enrfranchised race auy necessary Condition of freedom. And tbis has been amply verified in public and in private. It is true as to the conferting of the ballot there were serious doubts as to {ts policy and propriety. It was feared that the great body of the race just emerging from a condition of servitude would become the minis- ters of excitement and misrale in the hands of crafty and designing men seeking alono their own advance ment and interests, and that thus not only liberty itself, bat every indus'rial porsuit would be imperiled. It was regarded by many that at least time and oducation should be the pre-reqnisites to so high and eacred a privi- lege as that of the ballot. THR REPUPLICANS NEVER MEANT THEM ANY GOOD. Rut now that universal suffrege has boen decreed, the ben @ object of all should be that it should be exercised with judgment and wath a view to the harmony and not antagonism of the races. The truth is that the freedom of the late slaves did not spring from any sentiment of real philanthropy on tho part of the North. When the republican party, in 1861, went into power they ox- pres-ly put upon the record that they had no intention of interfering with the institution of slavery which existed in the South, It was only when hard pressed in the hoor of battle, that they needed recruits for the contest, that emancipation was declared in order that soldiers micht be obtained. SOUTH CAPOLINA A RMANOIPATION, But against the ratifieation of the emancipation thus inaugurated there was, when the war was over, scarcely & voico of dissent on the part of Southern logielatures or people, These confirmed by their own act the freedom thus obtained. Nor is the right of ea now con- ferred any mark of especial regard or fi their true welfare on the part of the body of the North.
